Has anyone had a Parkside Tool Sharpening Station PSS 65 A1. Are they any good and can you use for sharpening gauges. Glen:thinks:

Evening all, I've been asked to make a matching pair (fountain and ballpoint) pens in Ebony. Can anyone suggest a good quality kit pair. This is for a gentleman's 60th Birthday Thank you

Ok ok.. :rant: So I have been buying quite a bit of my wood for the boxes from a small joiners shop that has off cuts, very often needed a little more processing but I felt it was worth it.. I consider I was paying a fair price as he was originally selling it off as bulk waste every 6 months...

Mark beat me to it, but this is one I've done, damm they look good. Cheers Brad

Suggestions please for a cheap supplier of pen kits, I have only been playing around with the lathe and bits for a few month, helps with rehab from a stroke, and I have made a few pens for friends and family but have now finished all the slimline kits I had in stock.... I probably would want to...

So CA finish? First question how do you remove bushings that you've managed to super glue into the tubes.......just for reference mind...... not that I did this last night at all.... Secondly is there a good guide or video tutorial for a CA finish? I always seem to get a really untidy section...

Hi I am new to pen turning and have bought a few kits. I have found the Penn state one to be good quality but get stung with customs charges. Are there any UK or European suppliers that are as good? ?

Many of you have read my post about the wood that I have just acquired well I did give the boss a couple of pens and a four of bowls as well and the obvious drink, which I believe has been a good investment considering the amount that I have as well as what is still to come. What made it a good...

Well the last year hasn't been that good to me in one way or another.. My health hasn't been that good and I am being pushed out of the door of employment after nearly 40 years. I can't complain as they have supported me over the last 3 years and there has to be an end.. My mum has had...

I thought I would share a little story of determination - I often lack some skill, I openly admit that, and sometimes wonder, when I see some other fantastic creations people make, why I bother at all but on this occasion things were a bit different. I had previously made a sharpening jig from...

Took a chance with these Click Pens from a small Family Business in England. PROKRAFT. Jon is fantastic to deal with and so willing to help,he deserves people to buy from him. The pens are slimline with a click mechanism and in my view one of the best. The ones I have are gold but Jon is...

Hi All, Poplar burl and a bit of Pearl-X Gold. The bushings are no good as the finish was way under the fittings. No problem as I can take the pen apart and start again with new bushings. All good practice. Gold resin - YouTube

Well maybe not so good. Yesterday a piece of wood decided to fly out of the chuck where does it go yes you got it straight for the face the good news is that I wear a full face respirator, made me jump and the cause of this I had a catch without the tailstock in place. Then today turning away...
